Rigorous Standardisation! • Why? • Vision • Complex :- 10 Priority Levels • SDAs • Ease of coding………TOO EASY! • GP to GP transfer of records • Aggregation of information • Contract • Emergency and Palliative Care Summaries • Research/Audit • Data Quality DES Section 2 • Develop and implement a protocol for ensuring high quality management of electronic data recording • Have in place procedures which encourage the use of SCIMP recommended Read Codes across all members of the primary care team

  6. The Solution • Create a set of screens (guidelines) • Viewing existing information • Inputting new information • Links to guidelines/leaflets etc • Easy to create, difficult to create well! • Put into practices as migrated to Vision • Backed up by educational program
